Kalua Pork Sandwich -The "restaurant" -
Keneke's is right next to the 7/11 - Gas Station in Waimanalo. It's also a hole in the wall place with a couple a tables out front and a few on the side that are sheltered.
Update 8/31/11: Keneke's now has a 2nd loacation - You'll find it in Punalu'u on the Mauke side of the road. It is bigger than the Waimanalo location. You can order and wait inside and it has lots more seating than the other location, and the tables don't wabble around either. It's nice and cool and they even have a TV running - Should be nice if there is a sports event or something you don't want to miss.
Bob's Bar-be-que on Dillingham, near where the grocery outlet used to be.
I had noticed that when ever I drove by the place was booming, so yesterday we thought we'd give it a try. We went for the Rib combo: Beef Ribs, shrimp, 2 scoops of rice, 1 scoop of mac on a bed of cabbage for under $11.00. It was enough for the two of us. It was messy and they didn't have a place to clean yourself up...but it was great!
Makino Chaya at Aloha Tower and Pearlridge - All you can eat buffet with: Maine Lobster, US wa Gyu Beef Steak, Soft shell crab, Miso Butterfish, Jumbo shrimp, Alaskan King crab, Sushi and lots more.

We had lunch at the coolest place today! It's called
Brasserie Du Vin and can be found in China Town on Bethel. The atmosphere is fantastic! I would have sat there all day if I could have.
Bravo near Circuit City in Pearl City. You get these great little garlic balls/buns/rolls with your meal (free refills) and the food is fantastic. Fresh, original and colorful. We really, really enjoyed our meals there. They even have an Illima award for their service and cuisine
